To poll a specific agent, right-click the agent, then click Poll Agent.

To stop polling a specific agent (for example, because the server it runs on is awaiting repairs), right-click the agent, then click Suspend Polling. You can specify a time interval for the agent to be suspended, after which polling resumes automatically. By suspending polling, you prevent repeat notifications for a problem that is already being addressed.

The suspended agent’s status is listed as Suspended, accompanied by the same icon used for the Unknown status .

To restart regular polling of an agent for which polling was suspended, right-click the agent, then click Resume Polling.
